Intel has confirmed its roadmap for new processors that will launch on the market in two years. With the arrival of Kaby Lake at the end of 2016 and Cannonlake's preparations for 2017, Intel is already thinking about a new range of processors, which will be codenamed Coffee Lake.

Intel's New Coffee Lake Processor

The Coffee Lake processors will share a characteristic with the current Kaby Lake, and that is that both will be manufactured at 14 nm, unlike Cannonlake, which will be manufactured at 10 nm. What sets Coffee Lake apart from the rest is that they will be the first Intel processors to have 6 cores for general consumption, outside the 'Extreme' line. This is quite a piece of information since Intel has not released a processor with more than 4 cores since 2007 for the ordinary consumer.

Roadmap confirms Coffee Lake for 2018

As you can see from Intel's revealing roadmap, Kaby Lake will be with us for an entire season until the Cannonlakes arrive just late next year. Coffee Lake for its part is expected in the second quarter of 2018 and would be of a 'limited' distribution. It is unknown whether this new Intel processor will bring substantial improvements in IPC performance and power consumption.

On the other hand, in this roadmap you can also see the arrival of Gemini Lake, which will be the successors to Apollo Lake, Intel's processors for laptops. They will land a little before Cannonlake's arrival.
